Narrative:
On taxi in the right truck main wheel tires heated up. Aircraft ECAM and QRH procedures were followed that allowed us to continue taxi into the gate. Maintenance was notified that we had hot brakes and needed wheels chocked. Affected wheels were written up in the maintenance log and aircraft turned over to maintenance. No emergency declared.; following our flight manual procedures we were able to taxi all the way to the gate. While entering the gate area we re-confirmed with maintenance that we had high temperature indications on the right truck and they advised that they would keep personnel clear of the gear.after debriefing maintenance and writing up the problem; we deplaned the aircraft and left it with company maintenance. While driving away from the ramp I noticed fire trucks proceeding to our ramp; which I presume may have been called by our maintenance as a precaution.; temps were between 500 and 600 on the right trunk; temps were in the 300's on the left trunk. ... After block in; maintenance informed crew that the #4 brake fuse was blown. A maintenance log entry was made and the crew deplaned. After exiting aircraft there was noticeable smoke coming from the right trunk.
